Chapter 6 The Noble Academy Substitute (6) The female lead, Lin Yue, is probably...
Chapter Six
Xia Zhi successfully landed the internship; she received a call that evening confirming her acceptance. Although she knew in her heart that Xie Yi was behind it, she had no choice but to comply because she desperately needed an internship.
The courses are almost over, and the senior students all need to do internships. Xia Zhi was thinking to herself that there were still two weeks until graduation photos were taken, and she would probably just disappear on some pretense.
However, the male protagonists still relentlessly pursued her...
It was a day without classes when Xia Zhi saw the call from Xu Yu. They hadn't seen each other since Xu Yu had waited for her in the back garden.
Xia Zhi sighed helplessly, but still answered the phone, "Xu Yu, what's wrong?"
"Zhizhi, I heard you found an internship. Let's go out and celebrate!"
Xia Zhi could hear the faint pleading in Xu Yu's voice.
Xia Zhi nodded, then said coldly, "Then I need to call another friend."
There was a moment of silence on Xu Yu's end. "Is it Lin Yue?"
Xia Zhi hummed in agreement, "Otherwise, I won't go."
Xu Yu sighed softly, "Okay, Zhizhi, as long as you come."
There was an unnatural humility in his tone, which made Xia Zhi hang up the phone. She quickly sent Lin Yue a text message, roughly saying that she had found an internship and asking if she had time to celebrate.
Lin Yue naturally had time, so Xia Zhi sent her the location.
Xia Zhi took a taxi there, and when she arrived, she found it was a billiards club. Xia Zhi used to play billiards with them often in order to maintain her image as their "white moonlight" (ideal boyfriend/girlfriend).
But now, she's too lazy to serve him.
As soon as she entered, she found the place packed with people, and everyone was taken aback when they saw her come in.
Most of the people playing billiards here are students from the prestigious academy next door, and they all naturally recognize Xia Zhi. Although they saw Xia Zhi, they simply lowered their heads hastily and dared not utter a word because Xu Yu and his friends were nearby.
Xia Zhi spotted Xu Yu and the others immediately. Xu Yu was engrossed in playing billiards with Xie Yi, while Meng Ziyue was quietly reading a book nearby.
Xia Zhi's gaze fell on the two men; Xu Yu and Xie Yi's desire to control her was growing stronger and stronger.
It really caught me off guard.
Before Xia Zhi could speak, they stopped and subconsciously looked up at her.
Xia Zhi was wearing a light pink dress today, revealing her fair and slender legs, which were so fair they were quite alluring. Her hair was tied up in a bun, making her look rather cute.
"Zhizhi, you're here," Xu Yu said.
Xia Zhi nodded. "What are we celebrating? Did I pass my internship?"
Xu Yu hummed in agreement and tentatively asked, "Would you like to play a game?"
Xia Zhi shook her head, saying with a hint of sarcasm, "I won't play if you don't want me to. I can't beat you guys."
Xie Yi paused, sensing the implication in Xia Zhi's words. He feigned nonchalance and said, "Zhizhi, didn't you used to really enjoy playing this?"
Xia Zhi looked at Xie Yi, recalling his underhanded tactics, and felt only anger. So she said coldly, "I don't like playing anymore."
The atmosphere became a little awkward because of her words. Meng Ziyue seemed to notice this and looked at Xia Zhi thoughtfully.
Xia Zhi walked over to Meng Ziyue and bent down curiously, "What book are you reading?"
"Books on finance."
Meng Ziyue and the other two are all finance majors. They usually study banks, stocks, and other things related to money.
Xia Zhi nodded; she wasn't interested in any of that, so she quietly sat down next to Meng Ziyue.
"Zhizhi, come play a game," Xu Yu said again.
Xia Zhi initially didn't want to pay him any attention, but then she thought she shouldn't go too far, so she walked over and said, "Okay, you guys have to give in to me a little."
Xia Zhi picked up the pool cue and casually placed her phone aside.
The game started. Xia Zhi hadn't played in a long time and was a little rusty, but fortunately Xu Yu let her win.
Xia Zhi won several rounds in a row, and finally a smile appeared on her face.
Xu Yu looked at her quietly, his eyes filled with a heat and depth that he himself was unaware of.
Xia Zhi noticed Xu Yu's gaze and raised an eyebrow slightly.
Xu Yu's heart was pounding. After a long while, he finally spoke, "You...you've smeared your lipstick on."
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi subconsciously touched her lips. Since there was no mirror, she instinctively said, "I'll go to the restroom to check."
Xia Zhi ran to the restroom, but forgot her phone. When Xu Yu heard the noise, he instinctively went over to take a look.
It was Lin Yue calling. Xu Yu felt extremely annoyed just thinking about what Xia Zhi had said to him on the phone earlier. So he silently hung up the phone and then deleted the call log.
Xie Yi and Meng Ziyue both saw his actions. Xie Yi chuckled and said, "Xu Yu, you'll only be disliked more if you do this."
Xu Yu retorted without hesitation, "You're an accomplice too."
Meng Ziyue remained silent for a while, and just as he was about to speak, Xia Zhi returned.
She didn't notice the strange looks on everyone's faces, but instead looked at Xu Yu and joked, "Xu Yu, don't let me win, let's play another round!"
Xu Yu hummed in agreement and curled the corners of his lips. "Alright, let's have a proper game."
So the two quickly started another game, and Xia Zhi finally enjoyed herself. She looked at Xu Yu with a smile, "You're not as good as me anymore!"
Xu Yu smiled faintly and did not reply. This time, he was deliberately letting Xia Zhi have her way, but he did it in a more subtle way so that Xia Zhi did not notice.
Xia Zhi played another game, then said she wanted to take a break.
She was about to pick up her phone when she suddenly remembered that Lin Yue hadn't arrived yet, so she decided to call Lin Yue.
But... the phone call wouldn't go through.
Xia Zhi found it a bit strange and tried hitting it a few more times.
No one answered. Xia Zhi was a little puzzled. What was Lin Yue doing...?
Will something bad happen?
Xia Zhi was a little uneasy, so she sent Lin Yue a text message: Yueyue, where are you? Haven't you come over yet?
The reply came quickly: I have something come up and can't go yet, senior.
Xia Zhi frowned as she looked at the text message; something seemed off. Lin Yue had clearly promised to come, so why did she suddenly have something come up?
Something's wrong, something's definitely wrong. The female lead, Lin Yue, has probably gotten into trouble.
A thought flashed through Xia Zhi's mind: Could it be that the thing that slept with her last time?
Xia Zhi was a little confused. "Xu Yu, let me ask you a question. How did you warn those female students last time?"
The atmosphere was slightly awkward. Xu Yu toyed with the pool cue in his hand and said casually, "I told them not to bully Lin Yue anymore. What's wrong?"
Xia Zhi stared at Xu Yu, then suddenly blurted out, "You'd be so kind?"
Xu Yu didn't speak, but his face darkened because of those words.
Xie Yi scoffed, then walked over to Xia Zhi and joked, "Baby, why are you worrying about this?"
Looking at their composed expressions, Xia Zhi suddenly asked, "Just now...did you hear my phone ring?"
She was just testing the waters.
